Former LPD Chief Lisa Womack Cleared of Wrongdoing by City Manager

On Tuesday, June 24th City Manager Doug Thomas filed official documents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement stating that former Lakeland Police Chief Lisa Womack left voluntarily in good standing.

How can former Chief Womack leave in good standing when she was put on admin leave and accelerated her departure while on admin leave under investigation? The separation should be left while under investigation. Who besides Mr. Thomas cleared her? What outside agency completed her investigation like Mr. Thomas'? The fact that Thomas clears her post her departure is irrelevant. She left while under investigation.
